It’s a sense of being connected to the land - and a feeling one gets about places that are unique making it special as compared to any other place. It’s like coming home to a place, even if you’ve just set foot on it for the first time.

It’s a rare thing to have nowadays, as the sense of place is diminished in landscapes that have been overbuilt by concrete and design that has no real sensitivity to its surroundings.

Trust Ayala Land Premier to bring back that sense of place to the booming residential areas in the South. As the name behind such respectable and distinctive developments as Forbes Park, Ayala Alabang, and more recently, Ayala Westgrove Heights, Ayala Land Premier has always been known to create spaces that have a strong sense of identity and community, while letting the essence of the landscape’s character shine through.

A sense of place is intrinsically linked to its people. At Ayala Westgrove Heights, the community has grown as diverse as the people who have created it. Landscapes are something any development has, but the 'peoplescapes' of Ayala Westgrove Heights are unique to it. Taken together with the development's landscapes, these peoplescapes complete a living proposition unique among all other developments.

Carefully planned to preserve the natural features of the terrain in the South, Ayala Westgrove Heights is a 400 hectare development that is one of the largest of its kind in the area. Now celebrating its twelfth year, the development is set to complete the Orchard Park-South in the second quarter of 2011.

The Orchard Park-South, stretching out over nearly seven hectares, is a landscaped park designed to showcase a mix of gentle, playful meadows, country trails, and orchards of fruit trees and flowers. While providing areas for comfort and relaxation of the residents, the Orchard Park has been designed carefully with a great amount of sensitivity to its natural environs so that inhabitants will feel connected to the land and enjoy that elusive sense of place.

While pathways traverse a landscape dotted with lawns for family activities, winding through the Orchard Park-South is a summer trail that becomes a meandering stream when the seasons change. Much of the Orchard Park is kept in its natural state, allowing its mature trees and its diverse birdlife to flourish.

When completed, the Orchard Park will provide Ayala Westgrove Heights another space where the members of the community can thrive and appreciate the unique landscapes -- and the human landscapes -- in which they live.

Preparing for a baby is a wonderful & enriching experience which should be enjoyed by the basic unit of the society, the family. One step at a time is very important in eveery process, from pregnancy of a mother until full-pledge individual can stand and live life on his own. To give a newborn a head start in life, give them a healthy and intelligent foundation for the first months of his life.

Breastfeeding is the feeding of an infant or young child with breastmilk, a mother's own way of providing nourishment for her newborn baby. Before 20th century it is a natural way of giving baby the enough food that they need. It benefits both mother and child in so many ways such as: it takes a little more effort than formula feeding, it can save money, can feel great and prevent high risk of chronic diseases.

As a result, Philippine Department of Health launches the "Communication Behavioral Impact (COMBI) on Exclusive Breastfeeding for six months" which run through the end of August of this year.With a tagline "Breastfeeding TSEK (Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo)!" Campaign to encourage mothers to 'exclusively breastfeed' their babies and educate them about the benifits within, by reaching especially the expectant mothers primarily in lower-income areas.

Tama means immediate and appropriate breastfeeding within one hour after birth

Sapat means mother's milk is sufficient ( in nutrients and quantity) for the baby up to six (6) months

EKsklusibo means 'exclusive breastfeeding' for six (6) months, just pure mother's breastmilk only, not even water.

DOH Assistant Secretary Paulyn Jean Rosell-Ubial explained that an intensive promotion about the benefits of breastfeeding and the problems lies within is essential to disseminate mostly at the grassroots and lower-income levels which really needs assistance on this. By showing statistics through bar graphs sectors, regions and district in some parts our country do not reach the target data of having the breastfeeding mothers. Moreover chronic diseases are leveling up in the said places where milk formula are located. In addition, discussed also the palcing of milking stations on different institutions and establishment is very much appreciated and will make significant value for the campaign.

Likewise, the DOH Supervising Health Program Officer Dr. Anthony Calibo, emphasized breast milk is far superior than milk formulas which composed mostly of animal milk and additives that will worsen and take the babies life at risk especially in this developmental years. Added to that the nursing mother should have lactation support from the people that surrounds her to be able to admister right and productive breast milk for her baby. Dr. Calibo says that in breast milk 'dito ka talagang mapapanatag'.

There are so many projects and campaigns will be launch eventually but without the help of each and everyone of us in its own little way, share the information about breastfeeding, this advocacy will not materialized. So please participate in "DOH Breastfeeding TSEK" campaign for us to have a better individuals for the next generations. You can now check the DOH updated website HERE for more information and projects."Like" them on FacebookHERE.

Last Friday April 29, I challenged myself up to the limit. I joined the " Last Man Standing Challenge" held and conducted at the Manila Ocean Park Concourse Area. The competition was sponsored by Nissan Motor Philippines that's why a brand new Nissan Sendra car is at stake for the last man standing participant. I am so motivated as well as my husband which was the one who's interested to join but it ended up the two of us are in the competition. The event was started at around 10AM medical team has arrived and check all the participants vital signs, a short briefing about the rules and regulation was reviewed, how to use the 3 biobreaks (5mins each) and a welcome and motivation talk from the officials of Manila Ocean Park and Nissan Motor Philippines and the competition proper was then begun at exactly 2:30PM.

42 Participants chooses where the thumb stickers be place (any part of the car) and stick our right thumb onto the car the whole duration of the competition. I myself chooses the one under the door handles because it is more comfortable for my height and it slightly slanting which is an advantage for me to move my body in order. At 5PM, the facilitator gave us a challenge, that is, to eat a banana using our right hand holding it (thumbs still at the car) and the left hand peeling, we gained a prize of another biobreak on this. Then 9PM came the challenge is to stand in one foot, all our left foot are instructed to lift up and maintain that way until the end of the competition, if caught touching the floor or leaning to the other foot looses. Now this time it really breaks me, at around 11PM my right foot is aching and i cant stand to maintain it that's why I decided to use my biobreak to rest and have my dinner also. After 5 minutes, I ran to my place and position myself where I left it and immediately after another challenge was given that is to hold an orange fruit with lots of oil on it, then by 1AM the challenge the part which I almost gave up because cant do it due fats on neck, the egg challenge, which was instructed us to hold on our neck.The egg is raw and it was slipping when placed on my neck because Im so full of sweat and to think that all of the challenges should maintain at once.So I used all the rest of my biobreaks to maintain my place on the competition .Many eggs are fallen, lots of them gave up due foot aching, but I said to myself I have to make it at least until the 10th place for me to walk-head high after the competition.

Top 10 Winners of The Last Man Standing Challenge
